Wow, bikeage, besides that post being incredibly immature and ignorant, it seemed filled with a hint of either homophobia or disgust/hate.

Did a gay person kill your parents or something?

...that and if you let them in all that would get done is a lot of blowing each other.

Wow. Thank you for reminding me why I avoid conversations like this online.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the last bit in Bikeage's comment was tongue-in cheek.

I see what you did thar.

They have every right to practice their beliefs as they see fit. They can even be tax-exempt like churches and non-for-profits are in this country. My problem is that they are funded in part by the government.

I don't care if it's a right or not, rejecting gay people makes them assholes.

Hold on, are you guys sure that this isn't just an isolated occurance? I was sure that I knew an Eagle Scout who was an atheist.

Unfortunatedly no, it isn't. There's even an official policy that prevents gay people from being Scout leaders.

But simply put, getting mad at the scouts for being religious is like being mad at a perfectly roasted standing rib roast for being delicious. Life is a bunch of "clubs", and the older you get you have to accept to which clubs you fit into. There is a reason there has always been a "popular" table in the cafeteria for the past few hundreds of years.

I have a problem with people hating people for being gay. It's that simple. I also have a problem with people hating people for being black or for being women or for having orange hair.

Protip: No analogies.


I love how Bikeage's reason to exclude gay people is because they might be excluded by assholes. Mmmm.

The answer is simple. Bikeage is a muslim... -_-

Um. The Cub Scouts don't hate gay people, and are not taught to. And if some do, well, there are idiots everywhere and that is something you can't change.

Wait, what? People hate people "for being women"?

I think banning them from your club and telling them how being gay is wrong is hateful.

Erm, yes?

[elmagicochrisg]

assholes. Mmmm.

Oh come on!...
